Chapter 11 Dongping Village

One-star difficult mission: "There are robbers in the east of Qianshui City who are infested again, Dongping Village, located in the east eighty miles, was looted yesterday, and three villagers were killed. ”

Known: "One of the robbers died during this robbery. The leader is a transcendent who is speculated to possess a number of red-fire crossbows that are forbidden by the government. ”

Now demands: "This gang of robbers will be arrested within 10 days." ”

Reward: 80 silver coins.

Looking at this task, Lige was secretly speechless.

This quest has been seen four times in a row within half a year of his coming to this world.

However, no one has done it yet.

According to the arrester who took over this task, every time this gang of robbers looted the village, they would burrow into the Ghost Fog Mountain in the northeast and hide it completely.

You must know that the Ghost Fog Mountain is endless, thousands of miles large.

It is wooded and steep in the mountains.

Fierce beasts and fierce birds live around, and strange phenomena are born.

Ordinary people go in, and if they don't do it for half a day, they will have no bones and no body to bury.

And the transcendent will fall into it if they don't pay attention.

So this gang of robbers has not been annihilated by the government.

However, every time they commit a crime, the government will still bring up the case and publish it.

If anyone can complete it, the people within the eastern hundred miles will not be afraid of me in the future.

If it can't be completed, the time of the task will only be ten days, and it will not drag down the yamen's arrest before handling other cases.

Li Ge frowned like a scabbard, and most of the remaining one-star difficult tasks on the crystal wall were high-difficulty cases.

With his current strength, and the efficiency of solo action.

If you want to complete the case within the time specified by the task, not only will you not be able to complete it, but you may also be in danger of your life.

Among the remaining one-star difficult missions, only the task of catching the robbers is acceptable to him.

Other trappers can't find any trace of these robbers, but he has the coroner's exclusive secret technique [Memory Retrieval].

But through the dead robber, he can get the place where they used to hide from his memory.

In fact, in the past, the government also invited the ink coroner in the city to let him check the place where the robber was hiding in Guiwu Mountain through the memories of the dead robbers.

However, due to the fact that the strength of the ink coroner is only at the beginning of the transcendent realm, and he has only mastered the first level of the [Memory Retrieval].

The memories of the dead that were seen were only the memories of the deceased in the first two hours at most.

Therefore, in the past, although the ink coroner was invited.

But most of the memories of the two hours are pictures of robbers entering the village and looting.

And this little clue is basically useless.

However, copying the song of the ink coroner's secret technique, his mastery of [Memory Retrieval] was only in a short period of more than ten days.

But because of his special soul, he has now reached the second level of [Memory Retrieval].

Through the memory of the deceased, you can see all the pictures in the first half of the day before him, that is, the memory within twelve hours.

Twelve hours was enough time for Lige to find the dead bandit's nest from his memory.

So after seeing this task, Lige didn't think much about it and took it.

After the task was taken, Lige did not stay in the general yamen.

Instead, he rented a horse and went straight out of town.

......

Outside the city of Thousand Waters, a five-meter-wide dirt road stretching to the east was dusty.

I saw Lige riding a brown horse, patting the horse's buttocks, and hurrying towards Dongping Village.

It seems that I am very anxious in my heart.

There was also a faint layer of sweat on his forehead.

Indeed, Lige is in a hurry at the moment.

After taking the task, he suddenly thought of the corpse of the dead robber.

Will it be cremated by the villagers?

If he was sparked, then he would have taken this task in vain.

As for digging a pit and burying the robber, I'm afraid the robber hasn't been treated like this yet.

The only end was to be thrown into the fire by the angry villagers and burned.

Lige is so anxious now, just worried that something like this will happen.

It's just that the roads outside the city are different from those inside the city, and there are often wild beasts and vagrants outside the city.

Eighty miles to Dongping Village, he rode a horse for almost two hours before coming to Dongping Village.

Like most villages in the world, Dongping Village is surrounded by a whole tree.

Two village gates are set up before and after, and two wooden observation watchtowers are built next to each village gate.

There are two more sentry guards on duty in the watchtower to observe and alert the villagers.

When outsiders or robbers come, make different responses in advance.

Just like now, Lige, who rode a horse to Dongping Village, was stopped outside the door by two sentry guards on duty in the watchtower, pointing at him with bows and arrows.

Then he was asked, "Whoever is coming, report by name?" ”

Hearing the sentry in the watchtower ask, Lige turned over from his horse.

Then he took off his waist and raised the waist card above his head, and said: "I am the East Yamen of Qianshui City, and I am here to deal with the case of robbers and murders. ”

Seeing Lige holding the fast waist card above his head, he was listening to his purpose of coming to Dongping Village.

The two sentry guards in the watchtower looked at each other, confirming the identity of Lige and what he said, it should be the catch from Qianshui City.

Then one of the sentries put down his bow and arrows, and went down the watchtower to open the village gate and let him in.

However, when Lige entered the village, the two watchmen in the watchtower reported the purpose of his coming here to the village chief through special methods.

Not long after Lige entered the village, he saw a burly-looking man with five or six young men coming out.

"It's hard to come all the way from the catch. ”

The burly-looking man watched the wind and dust mending up, leaving sweat on his forehead.

He clenched his hands into fists and said with a hint of apology.

"Your village chief is polite, this is our yamen's business, and hard work should also be done. ”

looked at the burly-looking big man, and the five or six young people who accompanied him.

Li Ge guessed that the other party should be the village chief of Dongping Village, so he said modestly.

Then he hurriedly asked, "Is the robber's body still there?"

"In. ”

The burly-looking man nodded.

Hearing that the robber's body was still there, Lige's hanging heart also let go.

As long as the robber's body remains, this task will not be taken in vain.

The worry in his heart was gone, and Lige asked the burly man again when the robbers came to the village yesterday.

How many people there were, what was looted, and whether the three dead villagers in the village had settled down.

And the robber who died, how did he die, and so on.

Lige asked, and the burly-looking middle-aged man pondered for a while, and then replied.

"The robbers came at nine o'clock yesterday morning, numbering only five of them, and suddenly rode in through the back door of the village while I was out working with most of the adults in the village. ”

"The few remaining adults in the village were killed by the robbers' crossbows in the middle of the battle in order to stop them. ”

The robber who died, the sentry who was on guard on the watchtower, shot him through the head with a bow and arrow while one of the robbers was not looking. ”

"As for what was looted from the village, most of it was money stored in the villagers' homes or women's jewelry. ”

"Oh. ”

After listening to the burly man's story, Lige frowned deeply and responded.

Then he thought about it and said to the burly-looking man.

"Go, take me to see the robber's body. ”
